GAME ONLINE: Fargo Favorites #15

At first glance, this post may not seem like a "Favorites" kind of thing to most sane people. LOL! But even though the COLD of Fargo is.... what's the best word?.... Notorious? It is something we will always remember and cherish when our time in Fargo is but a warm memory. ;0) So my....

this week is all about the SNOW!

(The SNOW joins us here sometime in Oct/November and it's here to stay until Mar/April. I mean... it really NEVER leaves until the Spring. No melting and getting new stuff- It just keeps piling up! What can I say- it's a big part of Fargo life!) Here's just some of the things you see and do in the Winter here in Fargo:

1. The Snow Labyrinth
Seriously- the walkways are phenomenal here during the Winter. It looks like the city is one humongous labyrinth. That is if everyone keeps up on their walks. ;)

2. Snowy Rooftops
Lots happens on the rooftops during a Fargo Winter. Besides the 6 extra inches the snow adds to the height of your home, there is also other amazing things going on above.

We've also got Icicles the size of Glory:

And here's what we call the Icing on the Cake:

3a. Snow Drifts
Most of this pile has occurred because the wind blew it there between the fence and the 2 houses. Some can get taller than a grown man. Crazy but fun to climb on though!

3b. Snow Piles
Similar to snowdrifts because the snow is blown there BUT not by the wind --- with a heavy-duty snow blower. These houses are in the next neighborhood. That is a full size pickup in the driveway! I also love the snow covered evergreens. There are so pretty!

It's a nightmare for the mailmen, I'm sure!

4. Light @ Night-
When there's lots of snow here (when is there not, right?)- on some nights there seems to be Nightly Glow. It's a bit eery but pretty gorgeous when it looks like this at 2 am. (This is with no flash- crazy, huh?)
